Donald Trump polling percentage at 0.0% with Wisconsin African-American voters
The final Marquette Law School poll before election day that was recently released showed that 46 percent of likely Wisconsin voters preferred Democrat Hillary Clinton while 40 percent supported Republican Donald Trump.
But looking deeper at those numbers, one of the more stunning figures that came out of that survey is that Trump has literally zero support among African-Americans in the Badger State. It seems that Trump's polling numbers with African-Americans in Wisconsin are very similar to the grade-point average of John Belushi's famous John "Bluto" Blutarsky character from the classic movie "Animal House": 0.0.
Out of 59 likely African-American voters surveyed in the Marquette poll conducted October 26-31, not one said they have or will vote for Donald Trump. Nationally, Real Clear Politics polling average puts Trump's African-American support at just 5.6 percent and Clinton's at 84 percent.
The 0.0 came despite a pitch from Trump at a rally in West Bend, Wisconsin, on Aug. 16 where he reached out to black voters. "To every voter in Milwaukee, to every voter living in every inner city or every forgotten stretch of our society, I am running to offer you a better future," Trump said. "Are you ready for change?"

Trump supporter points gun at 6 kids after his sign is destroyed
A Donald Trump supporter in Michigan pointed a gun at six kids he suspected of destroying a yard sign favoring the Republican presidential candidate.
Allen Park officers found the children, aged 12 to 14, on the grass Saturday with 56-year-old Michael Kubek standing over them "cursing and yelling." They said a gun had been pointed at them.
"He was using very profane language," a neighbor told Fox 2. "Real bad language."
Kubek had called police to report the damaged sign and that the children were fleeing. He told officers the gun was not loaded, and that he didn't see who damaged the sign, which read "Trump Pence Make America Great Again."

Trump Admits to Relationship with Putin in 2013
Indiana's own James Comey situation might prevent African Americans from voting
On October 4, Indiana state police raided the headquarters of the Indiana Voter Registration Project, a group that was registering tens of thousands of African Americans to vote. Claiming evidence of fraud and forgery, the police shut down the group's work a week before the state's registration deadline. The raid and ongoing investigation have cast a shadow over the state's elections, police, and top Republican officials—and control of the US Senate could hang in the balance.
Indiana is not a swing state in the presidential election, but the close Senate contest between Republican Todd Young and Democrat Evan Bayh could determine which party controls the Senate for the next two years. The state is also in the midst of a pitched battle for the governor's seat, which is being vacated by Donald Trump's running mate, Mike Pence. The importance of these races has intensified questions about the conduct of the state's election authorities and police. Why, critics ask, is the state launching an investigation weeks before a major election, without sharing proof that fraud has taken place?
"We don't want people raising these claims right before elections," says Luis Fuentes-Rohwer, an election law expert at Indiana University Bloomington Maurer School of Law. "Unless you have hard evidence."
To Fuentes-Rohwer, the situation in Indiana is alarmingly similar to the controversy surrounding the FBI's involvement in the presidential election. Last Friday, FBI director James Comey announced new evidence in the probe into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server, less than two weeks before the election and without any information about that evidence or proof of wrongdoing. The Trump campaign is now running an attack ad based on Comey's announcement.

Secretary of State investigating possible 'vote flipping' bug in some machines
Source: NBC-11-Alive
ATLANTA -- Secretary of State Brian Kemp's office is investigating complaints of "vote flipping" in several counties, including three here in metro Atlanta.
Records are being shattered in Georgia as more people than ever before cast their ballots early.
Ethel Newton voted at the East Point library on Monday.
"I punched Hillary and it switched to Donald Trump," Newton said.
A poll worker quickly helped her start over.
"I've been voting since I was 18-years-old and I'm 71 now and I'm witnessing things at the polls that I've never seen before," Newton said.
Another viewer in Dekalb County said a similar thing happened to her. Again, she contacted a poll worker and the issue was quickly fixed.
A spokesperson for the Secretary of State's office said they're investigating complaints of "vote flipping" in Cobb, Coweta, Clayton, Baldwin and Bryan Counties.
In each case the votes were all corrected.

Razor blades glued to Donald Trump sign injures man at polling site
Colin County, TX — Campaign signs are a staple of polling places everywhere, but at the polling place at Collin College’s Spring Creek campus, one of those signs drew blood on Tuesday.
“Sometimes signs are stolen, or sometimes they’re defaced,” said Collin County Election Administrator Bruce Sherbet. “This one elevates it to a different level.”
Someone set a Trump/Pence ad directly in front of a sign pointing folks to the polls – nowhere near where the rest of the campaign signs are.
“The issue that even brought somebody to look at it,” said Chief William Taylor of the Collin College Police, “was the fact that it was sitting in front of this sign and blocking the sign that directs people where to go vote.”
And when someone tried to move the Trump ad out of the way, they were cut by the razor-sharp blades that were glued underneath it.

Conservatives to observe polling stations in desert
A conservative group in California is planning to dispatch more than 60 volunteers throughout Riverside County polling stations on Nov. 8 in search of election violations — a tactic that Democrats fear is an act of intimidation itself.
A dozen of those volunteers, all local, met Tuesday at a private home in Palm Springs, where for three hours they reviewed the do’s and don’ts of election law — what’s expected not only of voters and self-appointed poll observers like them, but of election officials who are paid to ensure the process runs smoothly and faithfully.
Several volunteers said they would pay special attention to polling stations in areas that are overwhelmingly Democrat. Ruth Weiss, the Election Integrity Project’s San Diego County coordinator who led Tuesday’s discussion, promised to send the group a list of “vulnerable” places, such as campuses and senior care facilities, where she believes violations are more likely to occur.
"We’re there to make sure the laws protecting against fraud are followed,” she said, citing a desire to protect people from union "bullying."

Free Screening of "You've Been Trumped Too" Tonight on Facebook live
We've announced a special screening of the film FREE of charge this week through Facebook Live!
The film will premiere online this Thursday, November 3rd at 8pm EST on the You've Been Trumped Too Facebook Page (http://facebook.com/youvebeentrumpedtoo)
YOU’VE BEEN TRUMPED TOO opened theatrically in New York on Friday, October 28, and begins in UK cinemas this week.
But after word of the film spread, Mr Trump’s company issued a statement threatening to sue anyone involved in distributing the film, and the 92-year old widow at the heart of the story..
Labeled "a ticking time bomb" by IndieWire, the film tells the story of Molly Forbes living without proper running water for six years since the Trump Organization cut off her water supply while working on their luxury golf course. The film also contains footage showing Donald Trump wanting to ‘get rid’ of houses and building Mexico border style walls around homes in Scotland.
“There is a profound danger to freedom of speech in Mr Trump’s actions, especially with the election around the corner,” said director Anthony Baxter.
Donald Trump issued a similar legal threat to the BBC in 2012 when Baxter released an earlier film, You’ve Been Trumped. The BBC aired the film anyway, to widespread critical acclaim.
